PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 27.-The execu-

protesting against the appropriation of
large sums for coast defense, on the ground
that they are urged chiefly by persons in
terested in the contracts for construction of
ordnance, ETC.; that history shows the des-
potic oppression of the citizen to be the
invariable result of powerful war establish

alliance renders foreign war accordingly
improbable: that the plan of international
arbitration further removes the danger, and
that the nation. being founded on princi-

Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
Boston, Mass. Feb. 2s.-For upwards
of thirty-fve years the English cutter Arrow
has held the Queens cup unmolested and
unchallenged, having won it in 1852, beat
ing the America by two minutes. The
English yachtmen were partly to blame for
this, for the English racing rules were so
unfair that an American yacht had no
chance to win except with screw pro-
peller. At the last meeting of the English
Yacht Racing association new rule was
adopted to stand seven years. 1t does away
with the great tax on the beam and taxes
length and sail area more, and under the
change American yachts have now much
better chance, although the new rule still
favors the yachts of the English. 1t has
been generally believed that, under the new
rules. the Mayfower could outsail the
Arrow and win the Queens cup. Gen.
Paine, the owner of the Mayflower, after
carefully considering the whole matter.
has decided that the Mayfower shall
sail across, and Friday last he
waited Oh Naval Architect Edward Burgess,
and. during a pleasant conversation. ten
dered the wel)-knOwn yacht designer the
use of the Mayfiower to go to England, and
if possible bring the trophy to Boston. But
veiy few persons knew of Gen. Paine's in
tentions. Gen. Paine said yesterday that
it had been decided to send the Mayhower
across the Atlantic, and to have a shy at
the British vessels in their own waters.
Gen. Paine will not go with her, Mr..
Burgess has been given the charge OF the
Maytiower, and during her trip abroad she
will be under his control. The great yacht
will sail about June L. She will be en-
tered in other races than that for the
Queens cup. Edward Burgess. the famous
designer. was interviewed. He said Gen.
Paine rendered him the Mayflower on Fri
day last, The yacht will go over under
cruising rig. There will be no change
made in her, as she is in excellent order.
The Puritan will have to defend the
American cup. Mr.. Burgess said he
thought that the Mayfower would settle
the statement made by British yachtsmen
that American yachts are skimming Dishes.
Mr.. Burgess commented on the compaTa-
tive merits of the Puritan and Mr. ISelin's
new steel yacht, the Titania. He had in
spected the New York yacht. Said he:"The
Titania is about ten feet shorter than the
Puritan, and even with the time allowance
that she would have on the Puritan, it looked
to me as if the Puritan would outsail her ev-
cry time. Of course by this mean in
outside races. In a race over the inside
course of the New York yacht club, the
chances might favor the Titania. so that
she would beat the Puritan, but outside in
good racing weather the chances are
strongly in Iayor of the Puritan. The III
tania is not wholly in frame, but she looks
well. There are some changes in her
from the Puritan and Mayfiower, and take
her, boat for boat, she is larger and more
powerful for her size than either the Pu-
ritan or Mayhower. That is generally so
in yachts as they decrease their size"
